The Passing of Laws Banning Black Books; and Why it is so Important to Teach and Encourage Reading in Children

During Slavery Laws were passed making it a crime to teach Black people to Read

Today Law have been passed s in many states limiting and banning black history from school curriculum banning certain Books and actual Authors of some books.

The system of “Challenge and Ban” of Books and Curriculum is a new scheme made up by people who do not respect the right to intellectual freedom of Black people and disrespect the Equal right for Black children to learn in educational environments that cultivate them by giving them Truth and Empowerment .

Six states Flo. Ga, Ms. Virgina, Kentucky and South Dakota have passed laws limiting

Curriculum

11 Other States passed laws in 2021 that restrict curriculum lesson related to race

and racism in public schools.

The legal standard of those opposing Black Authors and Content should not be “How you feel” and ” I feel uncomfortable” giving these white parents the right to challenge certain Black books as being objectionable. This creates the typical mob mentality which was the tool of the enslavers historically and now.

The standard should be whether the Books are truthful

These Book Banning Laws are vague and arbitrary and capricious and do not stand up to constitutional or literary scrutiny but are simply a tyrannical act by people exercising unjust power
